Worth considering
“Antistrophe to an Andro-Sapphic Tragedy” treads through the raw emotion of the experience of loss. The reflection on what women hold sacred is up for interpretation, and the growing pressure on Reno (Claire McFarland) shifts the play toward a harsh climax. Both intense and confusing, the play still delivers a heartfelt message to hold important values close, whether it be self-value or the value of others, especially for women. A puzzling script clouds the full meaning of the play, but the characters truly step out from the safe boundaries of the beach and plunge into the dizzying ocean of reflection.
Presented by Greta Mae Geiser at the Barbara Barker Center for Dance; 8:30 p.m. Aug. 5, 7 p.m. Aug. 7, 5:30 p.m. Aug. 8.
